What's Your Beef?

Bankie Wankies

Ever notice how banks sell themselves as the financial gurus with eminent knowledge of the $$$ game. Then you call them in awe expecting some white-haired intellect to plan your loans, investments, retirement kitty only to find some young 20-something at the end of the line who can barely balance her damn credit card account~!

Just got screwed over by one such blonde planning my house loan. This skinny ah lian who speaks (or barely speaks) English like she graduated from some (no doubt) Australian Uni (and I mean this in a I-so-couldn't-make-it-to-NUS way) couldn't even understand what my existing loan components were!

This cock-sure ding dong made promises she couldn't spell and left me with no loan at the end of a 3-mth application process and potentially the lawyer's bill as well.....Don't they need to know more than just the alphabet to represent a bank! Sheeeeeze...

It's a wonder why anyone would trust banks anyway, they are just insurance companies with a better frontage and more impressive reception counters - the better to wank you off your hard earned cash!

They raise loan interest rates the minute a minister breathes economy upturn and would probably sell their moms to buy bonds (arguably both are long term, but one COULD potentially offer a better pay-out for lower investments).

Ok, that's my beef for today. Nuff said (for now) till my ah lian returns with more excuses for her sad existence .
